Wondering how the pity system works in Zenless Zone Zero? Here are all the details on the banner and their guarantees in ZZZ.

Zenless Zone Zero is HoYovere’s upcoming action RPG, which means it is a gacha game featuring a strikingly similar banner system to Honkai Star Rail and Genshin Impact

The pity system is also more or less the same in Zenless Zone Zero, so here are all the details on the game’s gacha pool rate. 

How does pity work in Zenless Zone Zero?

Pity in Zenless Zone Zero, or any other gacha, means how many times you’ll need to pull in a particular banner before you’re guaranteed a rate-up

Each banner has multiple rate-ups, all with different rarities, like ‘A’ and ‘S’ Rank for characters in ZZZ, and the banner will have a guarantee that, if you go without getting them for a certain amount of pulls, you’ll get them in the next one. 

Zenless Zone Zero character banner pity explained

Pity in Zenless Zone Zero character banners guarantees you an S-Rank character every 90 pulls and an A-Rank every 10 pulls. 

So, for example, if you spend your Encrypted Master Tape (or Film) to make 89 Signal Searches, your next Signal Search will guarantee an S-Rank character. In Genshin Impact language: Flim is Primogems, Encrypted Master Tape is Intertwined Fate, and Signal Search is Wish. 

The pity is the same across the limited banner, which is Mellow Waveride, and the permanent standard banner, which is Star-Studded Cast. Both have an independent pity counter but the pull rates are the same.

Zenless Zone Zero weapon banner pity explained

The weapon banner pity in Zenless Zone Zero is a guaranteed S-Rank every 80 pulls and the same 10 pulls for A-Rank.

Here is a table detailing all the banner and item drop chances:

TYPE OF BANNERA-RANK PITYA-RANK DROP RATE (EVERY SIGNAL SEARCH)S-RANK PITYS-RANK DROP RATE (EVERY SIGNAL SEARCH)
Mellow Waveride (Permanent Banner)109.400% 900.6%
Star-Studded Cast (Standard Banner)109.400%900.6%
W-Engine (Weapon Banner)109.400%800.7%

How does 50-50 work in Zenless Zone Zero?

Mellow Waveride (limited banner) in Zenless Zone Zero has a 50-50 system, which means once you reach its 90-pull pity threshold, you can either get a limited banner rate up or a standard banner rate up.

As the name implies, there is a 50-50 chance, but in case you lose and get a standard banner unit, the next 90-pull will guarantee a rate-up. You can check all the rate-ups as well as the ‘Search History’ by clicking on ‘Details’ below the banner.
